A lavender farm has slammed influencers users for ‘killing their plants’ by lying down on them for social media photos.
Hitchin Lavender in Hertfordshire shared a video to Facebook showing how plants have been destroyed by visitors who sat or laid down in the fields.
In the emotional post, the farm said that plants that take ’10 years to grow’ are being destroyed in ’10 seconds’ by people hoping to get the perfect selfie on the farm.
‘Please don’t kill our lavender! Didn’t enjoy making this video but important to share.
‘Lavenders take years to mature. In 10 seconds hundreds of our bushes (the majority of which are between 10 and 25 years old) are being killed by some visitors wanting to sit on them..?
